Black clouds this morning but as yesterday was a washout I decided to take my chances and head for my 5th destination in the Photo Rally which is an old stone fountain called Stroan Fountain just outside Thomastown in County Kilkenny. This was a round trip of 180 km so not bad for a Sunday morning. Can't be doing history lessons every week so here is your own self train history lesson
This is it in real life almost 350 years old. The fountain not the bike!
Visited Jerpoint Abbey on the way back and as you will see it is being renovated at present.
Holding up well after 830 years!
